We do, and it saved us in the final match at VCU.

Can someone at least describe the 71 robot?

Hmm... I guess it can't get on the bar this year then, or get small or big balls, eh? Heheh.

But you forget the grappling hook! They obiously use a flying magentic hook thing to hang on the bar.

Okay guys, Here i am at Chicago for the Midwest regional and Beatty has unleashed the beast. So here is the run down. They are a tall bot with a lot of functions. At the beggining of the day they only had a 2X ball grabber, and a goal grabber. However, i talked to them and asked what was to come. They said they were still adding the hanger, and an apparatus to catch the balls from the drop. At the end of the day, it looked like all things were relatively together.

Summary: awesome fast bot with tons of features.

Good luck 71, looks great.
And good luck to anybody who has to face them.
